National Study of Health and Wellbeing: What is it like to be interviewed and why take part?

A token of our appreciation

As a token of appreciation for taking part in the study all participants are offered a £10 voucher.

Help represent people in your community

It’s really important that we talk to all kinds of people and, whatever your situation, your experiences and opinions are important to us. You have been chosen at random to make sure we get a representative picture of everyone in England which means we cannot replace you with anyone else.

Improve our understanding of health and wellbeing

By taking part you are helping shape the future by providing accurate information on health and wellbeing in England that can be used to help improve treatment and services to people across the country.

A little time to make a big difference

It’s easy to say no to our interviewers, but we hope you don’t. We’re not asking for money, just that you spare a little time to share your thoughts and opinions. We know your time is precious, but our work really does make a difference and the interview can be arranged to take place at a time that suits you. We help government and charities to make the right decisions about the big issues.
